Let Size Not Bother You.

Sending large files through e-mail can be a pain. It’s all fine to make a fancy PPT with liberally using lots of video clips and pictures, but when it comes to sending them over email you’re stuck. Often you may end up with the mail servers chocking on your large transfer.
Wouldn’t it be nice if you could just drop them over at some place and have your friends or colleagues pick them up?

The option: With websites like DropLoad (www.dropload.com), you might just have an option. This is one of a new breed of companies that offer workarounds to using emails to send large files. Some other services worth mentioning are DropSend (www.dropsend.com), YouSendIt (www.yousendit.com) and SendThisFile (www.sendthisfile.com).

The advantages: The best part about these services is that they are very simple to use. To start using these services, you just have to register with them (mostly for free). Then, as you’d do with your email, upload your big files to these servers, specify who should receive the files and you are ready to roll. This will let you get around servers that don’t let heavy files through, since all that the recipients get are e-mails with a link to these files, no filters will be able to block the mails or attachments for their size.
Another plus is that the entire transaction takes place at the server end. So you don’t have to bother about installing an application or stick to a single computer either to upload or download files. The one exception to this is DropSend, which lets you install a small piece of software for easy upload. There isn’t any co-ordination to be done either, so the recipients can come by anytime and pickup the files.
